Saros Series of Lunar Eclipses

Lunar Eclipses in Saros Series 126

This page lists all the lunar eclipses in saros series 126. The series contains 70 eclipses, occurring over 1244 years.

The following chart shows the position where the Moon
is directly overhead at the maximum times of the
total (in blue) and
partial (in red) lunar eclipses (penumbral eclipses are
omitted). Each eclipse will be visible approximately
from the half of the Earth centred on that point. Note
that we only have mapping data for
eclipses from year 1 AD, so any eclipses prior to that
date will be missing. Use the
zoom controls on the left to zoom in and out; hover over
a marker to see the area of visibility and summary
information on that eclipse.

Note that eclipse dates are specified relative to UT.
You have not selected a timezone for eclipse timings, so all times are shown in UT (essentially GMT).

In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 10% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 27 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.

This very subtle penumbral eclipse eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 8 minutes, just 21% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).

This very subtle penumbral eclipse eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 37 minutes, just 32% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).

This very subtle penumbral eclipse eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 59 minutes, just 43% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).

This very subtle penumbral eclipse eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 17 minutes, just 52% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).

This subtle penumbral eclipse eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 60% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth (none of it was in total shadow), which caused a gentle shadow gradient across its disc at maximum; the eclipse as a whole lasted 3 hours and 31 minutes.

This subtle penumbral eclipse eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 67% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth (none of it was in total shadow), which caused a gentle shadow gradient across its disc at maximum; the eclipse as a whole lasted 3 hours and 42 minutes.

This subtle penumbral eclipse eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 90% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth (none of it was in total shadow), which caused a gentle shadow gradient across its disc at maximum; the eclipse as a whole lasted 4 hours and 21 minutes.

This subtle penumbral eclipse eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 91% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth (none of it was in total shadow), which caused a gentle shadow gradient across its disc at maximum; the eclipse as a whole lasted 4 hours and 23 minutes.

At maximum eclipse, 93% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, which caused a slight shadow gradient across its disc; this subtle effect may have been visible to careful observers. No part of the Moon was in complete shadow. The eclipse lasted 4 hours and 26 minutes overall.

At maximum eclipse, 96% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, which caused a slight shadow gradient across its disc; this subtle effect may have been visible to careful observers. No part of the Moon was in complete shadow. The eclipse lasted 4 hours and 30 minutes overall.

At maximum eclipse, 100% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, which caused a slight shadow gradient across its disc; this subtle effect may have been visible to careful observers. No part of the Moon was in complete shadow. The eclipse lasted 4 hours and 35 minutes overall.

In a rare total penumbral eclipse, the entire Moon was partially shaded by the Earth (though none of it was in complete shadow), and the shading across the Moon should have been quite visible at maximum eclipse. The penumbral phase lasted for 4 hours and 42 minutes in all, though for most of it, the eclipse was extremely difficult or impossible to see.

A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 5% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 55 minutes exactly. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse.

The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for 31 minutes and 30 seconds. With the Moon just 4% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, the Moon may have been quite bright, but even so, this should have been worth seeing. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 32 minutes in total.

A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 1 hour and 9 minutes. The Moon was 19% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 41 minutes in total.

The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 28 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 36% of its diameter inside the Earth's umbral shadow. The visual effect of this depends on the state of the Earth's atmosphere, but the Moon may have been stained a deep red colour. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 48 minutes in total.

The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 39 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 51% of its diameter inside the Earth's umbral shadow. The visual effect of this depends on the state of the Earth's atmosphere, but the Moon may have been stained a deep red colour. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 52 minutes in total.

A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 45 minutes plunged the full Moon into deep darkness, as it passed right through the centre of the Earth's umbral shadow. While the visual effect of a total eclipse is variable, the Moon may have been stained a deep orange or red colour at maximum eclipse. This was a great spectacle for everyone who saw it. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 55 minutes in total.

A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 59 minutes and 48 seconds. The Moon was 14% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 39 minutes in total.

A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 43 minutes and 54 seconds. The Moon was 7% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 35 minutes in total.

The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for 22 minutes exactly. With the Moon just 2% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, the Moon may have been quite bright, but even so, this should have been worth seeing for observers over the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 31 minutes in total.

The Moon will be almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, lasting 3 hours and 28 minutes and visible in east Asia, Australia, the Pacific, and the Americas. With 97% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this will be quite a memorable event.

The Moon will be almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, lasting 3 hours and 26 minutes and visible from eastern Europe and Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. With 94% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this will be quite a memorable event.
